Objective

To expand the Etihad Stadium South Stand, increasing capacity and creating new revenue streams.

Solution

Embracing the philosophy of research and collaboration at an early stage was a significant factor in the project’s success. A key decision was to engage with Laing O’Rourke and Severfield Watson who were, respectively, the contractors on the original stadium construction. This was critical to ensuring the design developed in direct coordination with the construction methodology and program.

Results

The project was completed in August 2015 on time and on budget by Proleisure in conjunction with our contractors/sub-contractors, partners, and MCFC. There were 40 games played without disruption during the expansion with no main stadium seat loss.
